As Goodwood Kartways prepares for this weekends upcoming Eastern Canadian Karting Championship round, the tracks kart club the Toronto Association for Kart Racers (TRAK) hosted the Mosport International Karting Association for a combined club race. With many out of town drivers also making the trek to Goodwood to prepare for ECKC and the Canadian Championships, the action was intense with large grids and plenty of weather excitement as an added twist.
Weather became a major factor all day long as sporadic showers, very heavy at times, soaked the Goodwood Kartways facility. But not long after, the sun would come out and dry the track up, only for another short shower to fall making life very challenging for drivers and their mechanics as to what setup to utilize. But in the end, all of the day’s Final races were under dry conditions as the humidity picked up and kept the rain away.
In the Four cycle divisions, Matteus Makos took the checkered in Briggs & Stratton Junior his first race of the season, while Jamie Riberdy was the victor in a wild Briggs & Stratton Senior final.
In the 25-strong Rotax Senior division, Tyler Kashak took the honours after a great battle with Taylor Gates. 22 Rotax Juniors were on track and it was Jeffrey Kingsley taking the honours ahead of Davide Greco and Gianfranco Mazzaferro. In the younger divisions, it was Matthew vs Matthew in Micro Max with Matthew Latifi taking the checkers, while JP Hutchinson out duelled Joe Soranno in Mini Max for the win. Finally, Alex Mankovski was the winner in Rotax Masters and Dante Lerra scored his first victory in Rotax DD2.
